Why Our Open-Source GenAI Insights Toolkit Outshines Similarweb’s AI Chatbot Analytics for Startups

By Maggie

The Rise of AI Chatbot Analytics

AI chatbots are everywhere. They answer questions, summarise news, and point users to websites. Think ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude. They’re shifting search. Now, startups need AI chatbot analytics to see if they show up in those AI-led conversations.

Over 1.1 billion AI referrals in mid-2025.
357% year-on-year growth.
Big brands get the spotlight.

But what about you? The solo founder. The micro-team. You need visibility data that won’t break the bank.

Enter our open-source GenAI Insights Toolkit.

AI Traffic Data

Benchmarking

Their data is powered by proprietary algorithms and a massive dataset. It’s reliable. It’s enterprise-grade.

Strengths
